Ingredients
  

Main

  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

Main

  • Combine milk and cream in a medium saucepan and heat over medium until steaming and small bubbles form around the edges, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low, add white chocolate chips, and whisk constantly until melted into a glossy, silky mixture, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
  • Return to low heat for an additional minute, stirring gently until soft bubbling appears, then serve immediately.

Notes

Chop the white chocolate into even pieces to ensure quick, uniform melting.
Reheat gently over low heat, stirring every 30 seconds, to preserve the creamy texture and avoid scorching.
